Mr. Gum and the Dancing Bear: 5 Stanton, Andy and Tazzyman, David

**Mr. Gum and the Dancing Bear** - the fifth bonkers adventure in Andy Stanton's brilliantly barmy series that's got kids giggling from Grimsby to Glasgow! When a mysterious dancing bear rocks up in Lamonic Bibber, our wonderfully wicked anti-hero Mr. Gum smells trouble (and probably cheese). Expect typical Stanton silliness: bonkers characters, ridiculous plot twists, and David Tazzyman's gloriously grotty illustrations that'll have young readers snorting with laughter.

This children's comedy fiction gem targets confident readers aged 7-11 who love their humor served extra silly. Stanton's anarchic storytelling celebrates the absurd while sneakily teaching kids that reading should be ridiculously fun, not a chore. His unconventional approach has made him a beloved figure in British children's literature.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next adventure-seeking owner - perfect for fans of Captain Underpants or anyone who thinks books should make you laugh until your sides hurt.

*"My 8-year-old son literally fell off his chair laughing at the dancing bear scenes!"*
*"Finally found a book series that gets my reluctant reader excited about story time."*
